RUN FOR FUN ROAD RACE Our Class of 83 was the first in the history of S.H.S. to originate and sponsor such an event as a road race. The four mile Run for Fun took place on Sunday, May 31 , 1981 , and was a novel fund-raising idea. Running classes were open for 120 men, women, children, and wheel chair competitors. The course traced the route from Central School, down First Parish Road to Front Street, up Beaver Dam to Branch Street, and back to Central School. The enthusiasm of the participants was shared by the class of 83, as the successful Run for Fun earned the class well over $300.00. Pre-entry quadruplets. The finish line is in the harbor?! We love your undies Mr. McCready. Hey you guys, the race already started. 6

Deciding that our class had a better chance at making money at an outdoor event, we became the first and only class to sponsor a Run for Fun. Although the weather threatened to make our course an unbridgeable mud puddle, our en- thusiasm helped us to hurdle all obstacles. Our Sophomore Boat Trip gave us the chance to replenish our spirits and to test the seaworthiness of our legs for the journey that would require two additional laps to be complete. The third lap, our Junior Year, introduced a new official, Dr. Eleanore Gowen, and two new coaches, Mr. Menard and Ms. Gambell; and tested our endurance with the PSAT ' S and the accompanying College Board Exams. Our Hallway theme, Born To Be Wild, and our float, We Got Them Under Our Thumbs were valiant efforts. After a successful Toga Dance, we precipitously rested on our laurels. Perhaps our strength had begun to wane, for we stumbled and averted a near fatal fall with our Class Act, The Junior Variety Show. We regained our class and composure with our Junior Prom-Senior Reception, Wonderful Tonight at Cristos II. This is the final lap, sometimes known as the gun lap. We are all sprinting breathlessly now under the diligent coaching of Mr. Speedy McCready and Mrs. Janet Gillies. So much depends on how this final lap is run. So much is in doubt. Some winners will not be announced for a long time. Perhaps they are running more than one race. The final steps may be taken to the sound of Pomp and Circumstance playing in the background. The ribbon is in sight. Who could have guessed that the long distance run would have been such a short sprint after all ? ; I
